So I was showering after school and I came across these nasty looking lumps on my waist. Theyre red and bumpy and they itch! I can get a pic but its pretty nasty IMO, ill PM them to you if you can try and help
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

It was irritation from the flexable band on my briefs and sweatSolon said:Could be a pore reaction to sweat, irritation from friction, allergic reaction to a chemical in something you were wearing (or the detergent you use to wash clothes), or if you shave it could just be razor burn. Damn near anything. If the problem continues get it checked out to ease your mind.
Change the word mosquitos to bedbugs and now it makes sense.HandyAndy said:yeah mosquitos crept underneath my blanket, then my shorts, then my briefs and sucked my blood from 12 different places on two parts of my body, the bumps are huge not small pimple like ones, i have one bump an inch tall and half an inch wide
Eczema sucks so bad. I have some on the inside of my elbows ever since I started working out that just won't go away completely no matter what I do (although it's much better than it used to be).Royce said:It comes back, it always does![]()
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
